Why Centipede Infestations Keep Coming Back
Brooks Pest Control provides reliable, eco-friendly centipede removal for homes and businesses throughout the West Coast. Our licensed experts find the root cause of your centipede problem and eliminate it — guaranteed.
Centipedes are predators. They eat spiders, cockroaches, silverfish, and other bugs — so if centipedes keep showing up, your home almost certainly has a secondary pest problem feeding them. DIY sprays kill the ones you see, but do nothing about the moisture, entry points, or prey insects that keep attracting more.
Quick Centipede Facts
- ✓ Centipedes are venomous predators, not insects, that hunt cockroaches, spiders, and silverfish
- ✓ They need moisture to survive and gravitate to bathrooms, basements, and crawl spaces
- ✓ House centipedes can live 3–7 years and breed repeatedly indoors
- ✓ They’re nocturnal and extremely fast — roughly 1.3 feet per second
That’s why effective centipede control means addressing the moisture, sealing entry points, and eliminating the prey insects they’re hunting — not just surface treatment.

Centipedes Brooks Pest Control Commonly Treats
- ● House Centipede — the most common indoor species; fast, nocturnal, found in basements and bathrooms
- ● Tiger Centipede — 4–7 inches; painful bite; enters Southern California homes during extreme heat
- ● Stone Centipede — common outdoors under rocks and leaf litter; moves inside during dry spells
- ● Bark Centipede — found in crawl spaces and garages with higher moisture
- ● Western Fire Centipede — bright red; notably painful bite with burning sensation
Our technicians are trained to identify species common to California, Oregon, and Washington — because the approach changes based on what’s driving the problem.
Centipede Infestation
Prevention Tips
- Control indoor moisture — use dehumidifiers, fix leaky pipes, and run exhaust fans in bathrooms.
- Seal cracks in the foundation and gaps around windows, doors, and utility lines.
- Remove leaf piles, firewood, and mulch within 2 feet of your foundation.
- Reduce other pest populations — no prey means no centipedes. Declutter basements, garages, and storage areas to remove hiding spots.
- Schedule regular visits with Brooks Pest Control to stay proactive.

What Our Customers Say About Brooks Pest Control
DAMAGE & HEALTH RISKS OF
CENTIPEDES IN YOUR HOME
- Property Damage: Centipedes don’t damage structures, fabrics, or food. But their presence reliably signals other pest problems and moisture issues that can cause property damage if left unaddressed.
- Health Concerns: All centipedes can bite. Smaller species rarely break skin, but larger species like the tiger and fire centipede deliver painful bites comparable to bee stings — with swelling that can last hours to days.
- Financial Impact: The real cost is what centipedes point to. Untreated moisture problems lead to mold, wood rot, and attract other pests. Repeated DIY spending adds up without solving the underlying issue.
Early detection and professional treatment save time, money, and protect your homeʼs structure.
